Author of best-selling business book ‘Life’s a Pitch’, Philip Delves Broughton’s column in the Financial Times today is a great read. In ‘A classic recipe for business success’, the management expert talks about the Union Square Hospitality Group in the US and why he believes the company has achieved “extraordinary” success.

Describing the owner, Danny Meyer as having “build a rare kind of empire”, Philip attributes management style and retaining control of every new opening, to the company’s ability to “have defied such daunting industry odds.”
